More pointless flameyness...

My god, people. She's not asking for the world on a silver platter, despite what you appear to think. Strangely, I believe that asking for your waiter to say "you're welcome" when your son says thank you isn't asking for special treatment, especially when everyone else got that reply. And I grasped her request just by reading her first post, not to mention her many responses. Can some of you folks just, y'know, grow up?

Up until the time I was 13 or 14 I got looked down on, and treated as inferior. I wasn't spoken to, I was spoken at and it infuriated me. Grant you the child is six, and at that age I don't expect he'd be infuriated by being ignored but I can certainly see how it could annoy both him and his mother. There really is no excuse for a person being slighted when they are being polite whether this person is 6 or 36. And if the waiter or waitress cannot stand kids in her place of work, well I'm sorry, but they need to find a new job.
